The title says it all. I get some made stuttering/fps drops when I get that far into a game of Rebellion. I don't quite understand why, as i believe my hardware should be sufficient to handle it. Regardless here is a list CPU: Q6600 - OC'd to 3.0 GHz GPU: GTX 560 Ti Mobo: Nforce 780i RAM: 4 Gbyte DDR2 HD: Western Digital Velociraptor - 600 Gbyte Storage - 10k RPM OS: Windows 7 64 bite Changing graphic setting does
Whatup everyone I was simply wondering what the difference is between Trinity and Rebellion BEYOND the "awe" features, such as rebellion factions and new ships. Any new planets? Any new game features? Any new AI improvements? Anything new beyond new ships and bling? (not that that isn't enough ;D I simply can't find a comprehensive list of differences)
How the hell do you counter a small fleet that refuses to fight, and just keeps running through your space?
I dont understand what you mean :P However what I was thinking was a ability that allowed you to engage Jump from anywhere in a Gravity Well to any other Gravity Well. Or if thats not possible, allow phase jumping from anywhere in a gravity well (research)
Been toy'ing with alot of stuff now, and I really love it. Now I wonder, is there a way to make a Jump Drive ability. I'll leave the question wide open, any and all solutions are welcome.
What is Shield Mitigation? and why does it keep increasing in battle and decrease out of battle? Edit: Nvm... My brain started working again...
Finally I made it work without dumping. I used the wrong String copy (I used the one from the normal game, and not Entrenchement)
Okay I found out that you need to enter the name of the ability in the file: Entity.manifest Now thats working, however now I get a new error: Failed to find StringID: 'IDS_GameStat_CreditsLostToStarBaseUpgradePurchase'. NOTE: Any following StringID failures will be supressed. Any suggestions?
Its and entity file yes :P
The BEAMPSI was a miss type in my modification to the Advent Starbase. Dont mind that one
[quote who="Gameguy11" reply="2" id="2175501"]Hmm it looks fine to me but im not exactly the modder in the world. You did make the new partical and sound effects PsiSpirit Impact muzzle and put them in the partical and sound folder right? The string looks fine but did you change the ability string ID from IDS_ABILITYMISSILEBARRAGE_NAME to IDS_GHOSTBARRAGE_NAME and DESCRIPTION cause that might be the probleme. hope that helps[/quote] No I
Alright so I'm getting the hang of this "modding" if we can call what I'm doing that, thanks to some very helpful people. However now I have moved on to making new abilities. My first try was to make a MissileBarrage equivelant, actually the same, only difference would be that instead of missiles, it would fire that ghostly looking missiles that the Advent Starbase uses as its top weapon upgrade. What I did was to copy the files: AbilitiyMissileBarrage<b
Well wouldn't that just mean it would be a white beam?
Since only 2 of the weapons on the Advent Starbase are visible I wanted to change the last one so I could actually see it. However it is proving tricky. What I did was to copy the effect of the LongRange frigate (advent) and copied it into the Laser weapon effect in the Advent Starbase. It looks like this: Weapon WeaponType "Projectile" damageEnums AttackType "CAPITALSHIP"  
I'm grateful for the your assistance so far mate, but if I cant convert it back to Binary, how can I actually use it? :(
Looks good so far, thanks man. Now how do I get it back to binary so it becomes usable again?
/r c:\GameInfo %a in (*.entity) do convertdata entity %a %a txt When I write this as told, I get: "r/" is not a recognized... blabla... If I remove that so its: c:\GameInfo %a in (*.entity) do convertdata entity %a %a txt It says: The system cannot find the path specified. What gives?
Alright i have searched, and I have tried everything with convertdata thingy. It doesn't work. Whenever I try to open it, it closes down instantly. Trying to go: Run > cmd > write in the directary of the covertdata doesn't work either. How the hell do I do this?
Alright, got some questions that are listed below: Can someone explain how the whole weapon battery thing works? and is the dmg listed in the ship tooltip the amount of dmg each battery does? Would like to get this is detail How can I modify different abilities? Like making shield recharge ability that recharges 37.5 every sec, to recharge 40 or 35 or whatever? How do I add/remove amounts of hit points to different ships? H
Thats another thing. When it says: Laser/whatever dmg: 100 Does this when 100 per shot? And how do I know how many batteries each ship/building has?
hmm, I do think it should be made more noticable then
Well a simple question. I have noticed that the basic weapons is small pick/purple plasma particals, and the last weapon upgrade is the blue larger particals. But where the hell is the lasers? I mean the second weapon type doesn't display in any way. Is this intentional? is it a bug? I not its trivial, but I'd like to actually see some god damn laser displays in this thing, or at least some display.
Well, I never known what "unfair" meant. But I suppose I'll try that. I most admit I find FFA with Ai the hardest, they seem to attack alot more that way. But like in all games it just seems that you end at point where the Ai offers no more resistance. I just think this is sad as there ain't alot of people online willing to play the way I like to play this game (Huge Multi, FFA)
I have just finished another game. This one was 6 AI's, in teams of 3. Took 8 hours, could probably have been done faster, but I like to build the planets as I go along. I only built capital ships. I gotta say I'm diappointed with the AI. Its way to easily beaten. It should be more persistent in its attacks. Instead of attacking and then withdrawing, and spend 10-20 mins to recover and then come back only to repeat itself, it should attack, and keep producing, and keep trying. It cant
http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/3596/soasmgb2.jpg Made what I think is the best planetary defense possible with Advent. it consists of whats on the picture, and the starbase upgrades are: meteor thingy, full weapon upgrade, 2 upgrades to the HP/Shield/Armor/etc, and the rest in drone bay upgrades. What do you think?
